REVIEW: Toy collectors of all ages, from the Depression babies to the Baby Boomers, will find this book an informative and nostalgic trip back to those childhood memories when toys, all kinds of toys, represented the pleasant memories of growing up, along with those important and memorable occasions such as Christmas morning, birthdays, and the special holidays where toys brought out the smiles. This book is a culmination of much work and research, and compiles a vast amount of information.
